Dammit, couldn’t you have just told us what the thread titles were, instead of making us click links, which would be bad enough if the original thread titles were still there, but is even more confusing if they’ve been corrected.
Sorry, but one of my pet peeves on the SDMB is “I’m going to make you click a link to find out something simple that I could have just told you,” especially in an OP.
I remain convinced that ralph124c is a third-generation sentient AI (the first two being the ralph100 and ralph110 series). He’s trying to learn about the world and to simulate human conversation, but he doesn’t have all the bugs worked out yet. The misspellings are to make him seem folksy, like someone deliberately droppin’ his Gs.
Once he blamed his mistypings on his keyboard. I offered to buy him a new one but he never responded (which is typical of him; he hardly ever responds to the replies he gets to the threads he starts).
I encourage fellow Dopers to adopt R. Wiggums voice when reading his posts. It’ll save a few sanity points and make the posts just a bit more understandable.
I suppose it would be over the line to refer to him as Wiggums outside the Pit, but exceptions should be made.
I’m just happy that after like ten years, he finally bought a keyboard with a working 9 key. For the longest time, you could always spot a ralph124c post by the mis-matched parentheses: 9something like this). That and the fact that the posts were usually dumb and incoherent.
